What kind of TV does Panasonic home theater use?

By Matthew Sanders

What kind of TV does Panasonic home theater use?

I have an old Panasonic home theater system (SA-PT860) which was happily connected to my old Panasonic plasma TV. I upgraded my TV to a new 4K Panasonic TX-65CX700B and when I try to connect the TV to home theater via HDMI, I don’t get any sound.

Why does my Panasonic home theater not work?

I can see the home theater connects to the TV via Viera link but no sound coming. Although when I play a DVD in the home theater the sound works fine but not when on Sky or PS. Can someone please help. ARC doesn’t work unless both the TV and HTS support (and it has to be turned on in the set up menu too).

How can I get sound on my Panasonic TV?

I have tried both HDMI and HDMI ARC ports on my TV although the amp doesn’t have a HDMI ARC function (only HDMI) since its quite a few years old. To get the TV sound out I tried both analogue (Red & White cable) and the Digital Optical cable but still no luck. I can see the home theater connects to the TV via Viera link but no sound coming.

How does arc work on a Panasonic home theater system?

ARC (Audio Return Channel) Simple HDMI cable connection The home theater system is compatible with the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. ARC makes it possible to receive audio signals from the TV, on top of the preexisting HDMI function of sending audio/video signals to the TV with just one cable.
